Okay according to this I have been zapped 3000 sats!

Outstanding number for my humble origins.

I want to thank everyone of you and specially my parents who always believed in me

We have maybe a year left to keep stacking before bitcoin is just too expensive to make a dent in your stack.

If you only had one opportunity... Would you capture it...

Donate Texas Bitcoin Project - let’s Orange-Pill Texas! (Idea developed by Jonathan LaBar, Frisco Bitcoin Meetup member!)

I heard this line a lot a couple years ago while learning about lightning and how to run a node. I was surprised to still hear it last year, because when you actually spend time understanding lightning it becomes perfectly clear why it will continue to grow and succeed. Now I don’t hear it all because I’m here on Nostr surrounded by people who use lightning every day ⚡️⚡️⚡️

REMINDER:

We're all here to stop this 👆

The key to a healthy society is the freedom to do better.

The freedom from being forced to support things that you know to be wrong.

This freedom produces a multi-threaded society (many people can try different things) which allows the best ideas to out compete the worst.

It produces a robust ecosystem that can adjust & adapt quickly to uncertain situations & events. It is often very difficult to tell right from wrong, especially in unique or novel situations. It is ONLY real world application of our ideas that can truly determine right from wrong. A multi-threaded approach produces many answers. A single threaded appraoch, where everyone is forced to do the same thing, produces a single answer & if that answer is wrong everyone suffers. It could theoretically even destroy the human race entirely. A single threaded society is necessarily hyper fragile.

The multi-threaded nature of a healthy society vs single threaded conditions that lead to collapse are illustraded by everything from the Babylon story, to diversity vs monocultures in animal & plant life, to the collapse of every authoritarian communist regime ever. It's this same lack of diversity in ideas, the same forced collectivization, & the destruction of individual rights, that is causing our society to crumble today

Inflation isn't dropping.

Expect interest rates to climb higher and more pain to come in the markets...

Bitcoin will continue to be tethered to commodities with such a low market cap..... expect pain for Bitcoin

but

hope for the best

I can't remember whether I saw the 4th Matrix movie or not. How is this possible?

Does anyone actually read anything or write.. am I on mute.. or this mostly for my own entertainment?

Fed Chair Jerome Powell says cryptocurrencies would "certainly" go to zero if the US launched a CBDC.

Maybe CBDCs will be the new cool kid on the block and leave Bitcoin feeling like yesterday's news. Sorry, Bitcoin, but it's not you, it's CBDCs."
